Explanation of the CCVI Logo

The symbol of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word (CCVI) shows a crown of
thorns encircling a heart with cross, a heart pierced with nails, and the letters
IHS. The crown of thorns, the cross, and the nails are symbols of Christ offering
Himself for us in the crucifixion. IHS are the first three letters of the Greek name
for Jesus and suggest Jesus’ presence in the hearts of those who become His presence
to others. The heart has the Latin words "My Love," suggesting Jesus' enduring presence
in those who caringly bring His life to the world by serving others.

CCVI is the Latin abbreviation of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the
Incarnate Word. CCVI stands for Congregatio (Sororum) Caritatis a Verbo Incarnato
in Latin.
